If you are not using disposable contact lens, how long is a pair of contact lens good for?

When using a pair of hard contact lenses, frequent replacement lenses should be replaced monthly or quarterly. Traditional (reusable) lenses should last six months or longer. It is recommended that they be changed at least once every 8 or 9 months. I have been wearing disposable contact lenses for years. I started out wearing the Durasoft 3 lenses that I replaced once per year. I currently wear Freshlook lenses and replace them every month. I think it is more healthy that way.

Can eye contacts get stuck?

Contact lenses have come a long way since the glass lenses of old. with the introduction of silicone hydrogel materials contact lenses are less reactive than ever. there is no chemical or physical processes that can fuse the lenses to your eye, and the membrane covering the eye keeps anything from floating around to the side or back of the eye. The latter is less of a concern anyway since the shape of the lenses keeps them centered on your eye. They can become dried out which makes them very difficult to take out.
